LINEA Innovations’ Approach to Fusion Energy
Goal
- Realize Power Generation through Advanced Fuel Fusion (p-11B Reaction)
-
- Neutron-free
- No radioactivation of reactor wall materials, zero discharge of low-level radioactive waste.
- Tritium-free
- Fuel does not contain radioactive materials.
- Sustainable Fuel Supply
- Abundant resources of hydrogen and boron.
Approach
- “Non-thermal” Fusion Using High-Energy Beams
-
- Directly drives fusion by injecting a hydrogen beam into high-density, boron-containing plasma.
- Eliminates the need for ultra-high temperatures (hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius) as it does not rely on the self-ignition of thermal plasma.
- Requires the coexistence of plasma and beam particles with significantly different energy levels within a defined region.
Method
- The FRC-Mirror Hybrid System
-
- The high-beta characteristics of FRC enable the coexistence of high-density plasma and high-energy beam particles.
- The confinement function of the magnetic mirror enhances high-energy particle confinement and plasma stability.
- The characteristics of open-field systems enable the design of a simple and economical fusion reactor.
